Calypsos Kick-Off Meeting, Tenerife (Spain) 24-25 January 2017

On 24th and 25th of January, the Calypsos Kick-Off Meeting took place in Tenerife, Canarias Island (Spain). The Calypsos project aims to propose an intervention strategy for education in prisons, which comprises innovative learning situations, which enable inmates’ increased rates of school success. A considerable part of prison population can be classified as “specific educational needs”, mainly related to deficiencies in executive functions, principally cognitive deficits, working memory deficits, difficulty to pay attention, difficulty to structure thinking, difficulty to solve problems, low self-control, etc. For this reason, the project aim to consider education as a facet of education in diversity and against discrimination and segregation of inmates. The kick-off meeting has been a chance to consolidate the consortium and to remarks project management key points.
